eyeroll of the day- St. Petersburg Florida

I would like to send an eyeroll out to St Petersburg Florida(see below). I don't know who's crazier- the school, the police or the Mom. I totally understand where the kid is coming from- you don't mess with my jellybeans! :
Handcuff, Arrest 5-Year-Old Girl'I Don't Want to Go to Jail,' Says Young Student ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (March 18) - A 5-year-old girl was arrested, cuffed and put in back of a police cruiser after an outburst at school where she threw books and boxes, kicked a teacher in the shins, smashed a candy dish, hit an assistant principal in the stomach and drew on the walls.
The students were counting jelly beans as part of a math exercise at Fairmount Park Elementary School when the little girl began acting silly. That's when her teacher took away her jelly beans, outraging the child.
"I don't want to go to jail," she said moments after her arrest Monday.
"We never want to have 5-year-old children arrested," said Michael Bessette, the district's Area III superintendent."She's been appropriately disciplined under the circumstances," he said. The girl's mother, Inda Akins, said she is consulting an attorney."She's never going back to that school," Akins said. "They set my baby up."

What kind of comment is "They set my baby up"? That is horrible to say. And arresting a 5 year old girl? What has it come to? People are losing their minds, oh but first they probably lost their job, maybe their savings, possibly their medical coverage, etc. Thanks Capitol Hill, White House and soon the Supreme Court. Really working for general public. Can't wait to see how the Supreme Court rules on the 5 year old!
